Remus Repeal Reserve Series VI (2022 Medley)

Nose - Spicy, bold oak, cinnamon, clove, pumpkin bread, molasses, cocoa, burnt marshmallow, and medium ethanol. Palate - It is so much lighter on the tongue than the nose suggests. Dark honey, caramel fudge brownies, dark chocolate with sea salt, gingerbread, and clove. Finish is medium-short with light, syrupy honey and caramel, hints of clove and cardamon, tannic but not overly dry oak, and light ethanol. Received a 2 oz sample from a friend, and it's my first time trying a Remus Repeal. This smells like a cask strength, but drinks like a 90-100 proofer. I love the nose, but honestly it kind of dies on the palate and fades quickly. I expected a syrupy and oily mouth coating finish given the age and nose, but it drinks more like a one-note Buffalo Trace product. Is it better than standard MGP bourbons? Definitely. Is it worth $100 retail? Absolutely not.

This is my 2nd Remus, the first was the 5. This one delivers a soft strawberry and cherry cream mid palate and finishes medium to long with a long rye kick full of Christmas spices. This is a beautiful bourbon, I’ll be getting a few more bottles before you won’t see it anymore. The 5 is better by a hair and it should be with age on it but this bottle is not far behind. This whiskey is so different although very quintessential flavor notes 93/100 Cheers 🥃 This whisky is straight sexy, grab a bottle

Nose: sweet sweet peanut brittle. If I didn’t know any better I’d say this was a Russell’s pick. Palate: some candied pecans, and some slightly bitter but pleasant barrel tannins, but I can’t seem to pull anything else out of it. Finish: the finish outshines the palate, oak is definitely here along with big red gum and some cayenne in the back of the throat. Not what I expected from the nose so it was fun!

This is a very satisfying pour. Strong Scents of vanilla and caramel with maybe a touch cherry. Taste does not disappoint following the nose with a bit of spicy that lingers into the finish. Excellent balance doesn’t come off too proofy or thin. Definite cherry on the finish which isn’t atypical, but definitely a fruitier cherry and not medicinal. Recommended.

The nose is really nice with sweet Carmel and fruits. The pallet, however, is just not my jam. Bright strawberry and slight vanilla sweetness. And there is a note on the finish that I can’t quite put my finger on, but just feels a little disjointed. Definitely not worth the price tag.

Nose: caramel, cola, honey floral notes Body: medium Palate: caramel, barrel char, back palate with more white pepper spice Finish: medium to long, light barrel char and smoke. Very nice. Note: this is a nice dram. Really solid. Doesnt blow the doors off but a real solid sipper
